Patrick W. McGetrick Sligo & Maggie Woods Cootehill

[Dessie]

That was the civil record of the marriage? Sometimes fathers are not listed on a marriage record (if bride/groom illegitimate, father deceased, etc.) but the certificate has to list a residence for bride and groom which makes me wonder if you have the record from the church rather than the actual marriage certificate. (this was discussed earlier in this topic)

You are absolutely right I got the church cert and more details now emerge.
Married 9 October 1894
Bride Maggie A Woods
Residence Cootehill
Groom Patrick W.Mcgetrick
Residence Ballymoney
Brides Father James Woods (died)
Profession Flax Merchant
Grooms Father Patrick McGetrick
Profession Farmer
Witnesses Katie Woods  Joseph Lennon
It looks like Patrick W. although born in Sligo was living in Ballymoney presumeably in Co Antrim. His father Patrick may be in the Griffith Valuation as he is a farmer.  Thanks for your help all

There are at least 11 townlands in Ireland called Ballymoney so don't be too quick in picking the town of Ballymoney in County Antrim.

Would this be any connection? see www.proni.gov.uk

That looks very like it. Thanks Aghadowey

The family are buried in Milltown cemetery and I have been unable to contact anyone there. Did I read some where that you had some records of burials in Milltown?

The name changed from one T to two TT's after 1911 but there is a headstone and family plot. Can you check from the records who else is burried there and some dates? Sorry to impose

There are some Belfast cemetery records online (City, Dundonald & Roselawn). I don't have any Milltown records but believe another member does.
